Question

——Ah me how but it was a hell and now I had the whole thing to myself, and make my raisin toast by sitting it on a little wire I'd especially bent to place over the hot plate

Within these lines, where is the most appropriate place for a pause?
after “Ah”
after “myself”
after “toast”
after “bent”

Answer 1

after “Ah”

"Ah" is an interjection and naturally takes a pause before the rest of the exclamation ("Ah, me...").
